Last week I received a rejection.
It’s been a good couple of years for rejections.
The WACL Future Leaders Award, the Marketing Academy… now this one too.
It stung.
My first thought was: good. That means you wanted it. Which means you were putting yourself out there, going for something you wanted, taking a risk.
My second thought: you should be getting stung way more often than this. You’re not putting yourself out there enough.
